We are quickly approaching our last month of Grade 1. Where has time gone? Please continue to practice sight words daily. Over the next 2/3 weeks, I will be testing students and writing report cards. It is essential that we continue to progress through Grade 1 materials. Thanks for your help. We have been practicing our addition and subtraction to 10. Your child may benefit from some extra practice at home.Library books are due Monday or Tuesday morning.

Wildlife Field Trip-InformationOn Monday, June 15th, we will be going to the Wildlife park by bus with 3 other classes. Please note that the field trip will be a full day (8:30-2:30) trip. We will be walking, and exploring the animals in their environment so please have FOOD: Please provide your child with a large healthy snack, A LUNCH AND ABOTTLE OF WATER for that day. All of these items should be in a backpack that your child will carry throughout the day. BACKPACKS: Please remember that your child will be carrying his/her backpack all day. Try to pack as lightly as possible (sandwiches are much easier to carry than apples and oranges).CLOTHING: Also, I am asking parents to ensure that their child is appropriatelydressed for this field trip, including running shoes, hat, no dresses/skirts,pants (to protect legs from scratches), and a coat/pullover. We are going rain or shine, so please consider the weather that morning when your child is getting dressed. Please apply and send extra sunscreen (small bottle).PARENT HELPERS: Parents are encouraged to drive to the Wildlife park. Parents who bring preschoolers may have to pay for their child. Remember you will be assigned students...this will be set up before the trip. I would like to have at least 6 or 7 parent volunteers...if we have more that is okay!
